Hi!
Could any kind soul please tell me the connections between
different ruby-versions, please?
ruby 1.6.8 is the stable release, not much development, there,
but how are 1.7., 1.8-preview and the daily snapshot related?
Thanks in advance,
Martin.
1.6.8 - stable release
1.7.* - previous development release (forget it)
1.8.0 - next stable release (but currently in preview)
There are two daily snapshots,
1.6.8 - stable
1.8.0 (preview) - development (until final)
When 1.8.0 is final, (I think) you’ll see:
1.8.* - stable
1.9.* - development

You probably know this, but generally, open source software uses
an odd second digit to indicate an unstable, or development version.
Even second digits are usually safe

Except, never run any software whose version ends in .0

used for Ruby; however, Matz decided to change this for Ruby
sometime last year (I think). There’s a message on -talk or -core
somewhere about this. I think that it was said that 1.8.0 is the
development line, 1.8.1 is the release line. There will be a 1.9 as
a released (stable) version, IIRC.
Just when you think you have it all figured out…
Thanks for the update.
